Description

By focusing on the biology and public health issues related to infectious diseases, students analyze and apply knowledge regarding the etiology, symptoms, diagnosis, transmission, treatment and prevention of illnesses that are either newly emerging or resurfacing as global threats. Genetic diseases with high morbidity and/or mortality burden are also investigated. Concepts are studied through problem-based learning and case investigations.
